• Physical development through proper workouts.
• Group interaction through group dynamics at practice, meets, and social events.
• Development of self-esteem through accomplishing individual goals.
• Self-actualization through planning goals and accepting the responsibility of working towards their achievement.

The basic program design is one where the amount of time available for practice increases as the swimmer matures and is therefore able to handle the increased physical pressures and demands on their time.

The coaching staff feels that while winning is important, the work and planning leading up to the competitive experience is more important. We want swimmers to realize that they are winners if they have achieved their own personal goals, even though they might not have won their event. We want the swimmers who have progressed through our program and graduated from high school to say that they got more out of swimming than just ribbons, medals, and trophies.

The accomplishments of the team are as important as those of the individual. Team accomplishments are achieved when all individuals meet their performance objectives. This is why competition is provided for all ability levels within the team so that each swimmer has the opportunity to perform and see how they are progressing toward their objectives.

Through the cooperative efforts of parents, coaches, and swimmers, the time spent in swimming should therefore prove worthwhile.
